Les droits civiques,
un combat collectif

Anna Foa*

Il y a une belle photo du champion de la lutte pour les droits civiques aux États-Unis, John Lewis, décédé à l’âge de 80 ans après une vie jalonnée de batailles et d’engagement continu. Dans cette image, qui date de la marche, en 1965, de Selma dans l’Alabama, Lewis est en train de manifester à côté de Martin Luther King, du rabbin Abraham Joshua Heschel et d’autres leaders du mouvement pour les droits civiques.

Names

By David Bidussa*

Around those who lost their lives in the Bologna massacre, a name often comes up: Maria Fresu who, together with her 3-year-old daughter Angela, on the morning of August 2, 1980 at 10.25, was in the waiting room of the train station.
Maria Fresu, 24, was 1,48 m tall. Of her, nothing was left but an identity card, a suitcase and a bodice. She is the only victim of the massacre whose body has never been found. Only her name survived, like in the case of many victims of other massacres and genocides in our contemporary age.

*David Bidussa is a historian of social ideas.

Victim of Nazi massacre in Italy
to be recognised, 76 years on

By Jenni Frazer*

Italy is finally to recognise the Jewish uncle of a British man as one of the Ardeantine massacre victims after years of futile campaigning by the family was brought to an end by local detective work and a scientific breakthrough.
The 1944 shooting of 335 civilians, personally authorised by Hitler, was one of the most notorious events in Italy’s history.
In July, 76 years after his murder, the family of Heinz Erich Tuchmann, a 33-year-old German Jew, was finally given closure as his remains were identified thanks to a DNA sample from the British nephew he never knew, Jeremy Tuckman.

*The article was published in the Jewish Chronicle on July 31, 2020.
